New Sweep Racing GT wheels

Sweep Racing are proud to introduce their new GT class competition wheels. They are based around the ROK rims that are of greater rigidity and stiffness to provide higher corner speeds and more stability. The tire itself is moulded in Sweep’s EXP rubber compound that needs zero run-in time and sports a very high grip level. Sandwiched between rim and tire is the LS full face insert that makes for better traction and consistency as it covers the entire contact area of the tire while keeping the overall weight low at the same time. The wheels are designed to fit most of today’s GT chassis.
